Addendum to my beer post!

So, yesterday I was telling you that Andie and I bought a bunch of beers with really pretty caps for the project. I’d like to tell you that it was worth it because yesterday I actually placed (not glued) the caps on the letters that we’re using (we’re doing her initials) and it looked awesome, but then I would be denying the fact that these beers that I’ve been drinking have been awesome.

West Coast IPA from Green Flash Brewing Company in San Diego, CA … this beer was also hoppy. In fact, the label says, “extravagantly hopped” which is a strange description. I didn’t love it and Kevin complained that I wasn’t “finishing my beers” which isn’t surprising since I bought them based on the cap,

Dogfish Head Pal Santo Marron by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, Delaware. Honestly, this is one of the most disgusting things I have ever tasted and I had to spit it out. It was so thick and brown and heavy and awful. Of course, it did say “Malt beverage aged on Palo Sano Wood” so I suppose if I had paid attention and actually know what a “malt beverage” is I would NEVER have bought it.

On Sunday, Kevin decided that he would try a beer too so he picked Longboard Island Lager and I picked Hellch O’Hops. Of course, I hated my beer so he offered to trade and heres the long of short of that.

I also dislike hoppy bears. Gimme a smooth lager. My favorites are actually Guinness Black Lager, Negro Modelo, and Monty Python’s Holy Grail Ale. I think only the last one has an interesting cap though!

Me, I’m a hop head. The hoppier, the better. However, chacune à son gout, as they say.
